|---|---|---|---|---|

Hot tempo expected from Quattro Jack and Yuto The Yuto. SUNRISE BULLET (11) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Scored over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt to launch the last campaign. Placed only try course and distance and goes well fresh. Hard to beat. YUTO THE YUTO (10) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished second, beaten one length, over 2000m at this track. Went close last time and now at top. Should be right in the finish. SOUL AND JAZZ (3) is racing well without winning. Last start finished third, beaten 4 lengths, over 2400m at Nakayama Dirt. Among the chances again. ZEN ESPOIR (8) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Fitter and sure to run well.
